Preface:

This is the first edition of CSA C61869-11, Instrument transformers — Part 11: Additional requirements for low-power passive voltage transformers, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 61869-11 (first edition, 2017-12). It replaces relevant parts of CAN/CSA-C60044-7:07 (adopted IEC 60044-7:1999), Instrument transformers — Part 7: Electronic voltage transformers, and of CAN/CSA-C60044-8:07 (adopted IEC 60044-8:2002), Instrument transformers — Part 8: Electronic current transformers. It is part of the CSA C61869 series of Standards on instrument transformers, which consists of adoptions with Canadian deviations of the IEC 61869 series of Standards.

This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with CAN/CSA-C61869-1:14, Instrument transformers — Part 1: General requirements (adopted IEC 61869-1:2007, with Canadian deviations); and CSA C61869-6:20, Instrument transformers — Part 6: Additional general requirements for low-power instrument transformers (adopted IEC 61869-6:2016, with Canadian deviations).

Requirements common to all instrument transformer types are grouped in CAN/CSA-C61869-1. Requirements specific to conventional instrument transformer types are grouped in CAN/CSA-C61869-2, CAN/CSA-C61869-3, CAN/CSA-C61869-4, and CAN/CSA-C61869-5. Those CSA Group Standards present many inherited Canadian deviations justified by the specific conditions, practices, and regulations in Canada.

Requirements common to low-power instrument transformers (LPIT) used for ac applications having rated frequencies from 15 Hz to 100 Hz covering MV, HV, and EHV or used for dc applications are grouped in CSA C61869-6.

The remaining Standards in the series state requirements for specific types of instrument transformers.

Canada has actively participated in the development of IEC 61869-11, in order to enforce specific Canadian conditions. It should be noted that Parts 6 to 13 of the IEC 61869 series specify the requirements for ac LPIT as well as the interfaces necessary to implement the LPIT into an integrated system for protection and measurement. Such a system uses a universal digital transmission protocol compatible with IEC 61850, and has a digital output. In order to ensure full interoperability, Canadian deviations in CSA C61869-11 are minimal.

This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

Scope:

This part of IEC 61869 is a product standard and covers only additional requirements for low-power passive voltage transformers (passive LPVT). The product standard for low-power passive voltage transformers is composed of IEC 61869-1, along with IEC 61869-6 and this document with specific requirements.

This document is applicable to newly manufactured low-power passive voltage transformers with analogue output having rated frequencies from 15 Hz to 100 Hz for use with electrical measuring instruments or electrical protective devices.

This document covers low-power passive voltage transformers used for measurement or protection and low-power passive voltage transformers used for both measurement and protection.

Low-power passive voltage transformers have analogue output only (for digital output or for technology using any kind of active electronic components refer to future IEC 61869-72). Such low-power passive voltage transformers can include the secondary signal cable (transmitting cable). The secondary voltage of the low-power passive voltage transformer is proportional to the primary voltage. Derivative output signals are not within the scope of this document.
